You can use explicit durations on the lyrics and the chords.

Something like:

accomp=\chords {
  c4 c c c:7 f f c c
}

words=\lyricmode {
  Twinkle2 twinkle little star
}

\score {
  <<
    \context ChordNames \accomp
    \context Lyrics \words
  >>

  \layout {
    \context {
      \ChordNames
      chordChanges = ##t
    }
  }
}
